Spring comes without realizing it.
In February of the Han calendar year, the city of Chang'an, capital of the Han Dynasty, is already warm and warm. The spring of the Wei River always comes later and slower, like a slow poem, with twists and turns in the gentle layout, shaking out the infinite scenery along the way, and then again. There was no cold wind as sharp as a sword.
The mighty spring breeze swept through the Wei River Valley. A spring breeze and a flying dust. The spring breeze first blew away the dust that covered this land and blew away the haze that shrouded people's eyes.
The most enviable thing for the people living in Chang'an on the Wei River is to change out of their winter clothes early, put on light clothes, and go outdoors to relax and rejuvenate their muscles and bones, and get a breather.
If you wear more clothes, at noon, the radiant sun will help you take off the extra clothes very diligently. It doesn't matter if you don't wear enough clothes. The sun is setting in the west, and if it rains, it will be like "the desert turns to darkness in autumn". Within a day, it is normal for one place to go from warm to cold. What's more, "there is still snow on the Weishui River in June". Snow in June is something that only happens in June of the Gregorian calendar. In June of the lunar calendar, the Weishui River will also support its own piece of "sunny sky".
I am used to seeing spring in the Weishui River, and seeing the girl's mood changing at every turn, I don't think it is so unpredictable anymore.
Didn’t you see, you can hear the tide at the head of Baling Bridge, you can visit ancient times in Shouyang Mountain, and the patio is beautiful and quiet...
...
On the Dragon Head Plain, with the sweet spring of Weiyang Palace in the middle, Emperor Liu Yan was holding a miscellaneous book written by Luofu Taoist Temple Ge Hong and couldn't put it down. As the midday sun slowly shone in, he fell asleep unconsciously.
Maybe I worry too much about national affairs.
In the past few days, Liu Yan's tinnitus was very severe, and it was hard to hear the rain in the middle of the night when he was lying down. When Weng Ming made a loud noise, he always felt that thousands of troops and horses were roaring and rushing into his sleep, and he was always awakened.
The quality of his sleep was extremely low, causing him to feel in a daze all day long and find it difficult to concentrate. He often failed to respond to the beginning and end of the batches of memorials. This made Liu Yan very angry, and his originally gentle temper became a little irritable.
Lack of sleep, kidney deficiency and essence deficiency will shorten your life if things continue like this!
Liu Yan's heart was like a mirror. His current physical condition was not a virtuous cycle. However, the hegemony of pacifying the family had not yet been completed, his wish to help the world was not fulfilled, and his eternal dream of hunting the northern border with Fu Yi had not yet been realized. He did not allow himself to let this happen. To live a peaceful life, he must continue to shine, continue to lead group discussions, continue to work hard and sleep late, and continue to climb higher until he establishes an eternal hegemony and is famous forever.
His belief and ambition drive this middle-aged emperor to run on the track of time all the time. As long as the fire of life does not go out, he will never stop.
He has no choice.
Prime Minister Lu Zheng had a very thorough understanding of Liu Yan's inner thoughts. He knew that he could not dissuade the emperor from cherishing his body, so he immediately thought of it and leaked the news to the empress dowager.
When the empress dowager Guo Ke heard about this, she was furious and immediately went to Weiyang Palace to admonish the emperor Liu Yan.
Unexpectedly, even if the Empress Dowager came forward, she would be defeated.
The emperor's will is so strong that no one in the world can shake it!
However, the Empress Dowager Guo Ke loved her son so much that while transporting the ginseng, velvet antlers and wolfberry from the Changle Palace Treasury to the Weiyang Palace, she repeatedly asked Tai Chang Xie Pe to order the imperial doctor to take good care of His Majesty.
On the other hand, he issued a recruitment order, willing to spend a lot of money to recruit capable heroes to relieve the emperor's difficulties.
There must be a brave man under a heavy reward.
Within a few days, a hermit from the Jianghu took down the recruitment notice and went to the palace to propose a plan. He said: To the east and slightly north of Chang'an City, there is Fuyu Mountain. The Fuyu River on which the villagers depend for their survival originates from the top of this mountain. It flows northward and flows into the Wei River. The south side of Fuyu Mountain produces a large amount of copper, and the north side of the mountain produces extremely rich iron.
The grass in the mountains is mainly strip grass. The shape of strip grass is similar to that of sunflower. It has red flowers and yellow fruits. The fruits are like a baby's tongue. People who eat them will not be confused by illusions. Most of the wild animals in the mountains are onion-deaf animals, which are shaped like sheep and have red manes. The most common bird in the mountains is the kingfisher. This bird is shaped like a kingfisher and has a red beak. Keeping it around can prevent fires.
On Fuyu Mountain, there is a tree called Wenjian. Its fruit is like a jujube, which can treat deafness and tinnitus.
What this hermit said was all nonsense in the eyes of the Queen Mother Guo Ke. Just when Guo Ke was drowsy after listening to it, when he heard that the Asparagus fruit can treat tinnitus and strengthen the kidneys, Guo Ke immediately Intrigued, the old man quickly called people to the Wencheng Museum to look for Shen Qiong and consult ancient books. It didn't matter, he actually found clues in a fragment of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas".
Guo Ke was overjoyed and immediately sent Jingzhao Yin Chen Bi to search for him.
When the hermit heard that Chen Bi was about to go to the mountain to search for fruit, he immediately met with the Queen Mother Guo Ke again to stop him, and said, "The sacred tree has a spirit, and those who are not sincere cannot see it." The meaning of this statement is obvious, that is, he wants Liu Yan to go there in person. Only then can the divine object appear.
The Empress Dowager Guo Ke has seen ups and downs in her life. She is used to strong winds and waves. How could she believe such a trick to fool children.
As a result, Chen Bi really returned without success. Not to mention the Wenjian tree, he didn't even find the Fuyu Mountain.
...
A few days later, Liu Yan stood on the top of a low mountain, raising his head to see the floating clouds in the northwest. The spring breeze blew on his face, blowing away the white hair hidden in the black hair. It was thousands of miles of blue, as if he was the only one left in the world.
Perhaps, only Liu Yan himself and the old man standing next to him at this moment knew why Liu Yan could not sleep all night. Or maybe, even the old man did not know the real reason for staying awake all night. () ()
"Teacher, I remember when I was a child, you often said, 'The wise enjoy water and the benevolent enjoy mountains.' But why don't I like mountains and water at the same time?" Liu Yan squinted his eyes slightly, his words a little bitter.
"The mountains in your Majesty's eyes are not ordinary mountains, but thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. The water in your Majesty's eyes is naturally not water either. It is the rolling Milky Way! How can such small mountains and rivers be like your eyes?"
The old man accompanying Liu Yan was the Prime Minister of the Empire, Lu Zheng, who was more powerful than anyone else.
Liu Yan laughed loudly, "When did the teacher learn to flatter you?"
Lu Zheng bared his big white teeth and said in a warm voice, "How can this be flattery? Those who cherish the sky will definitely have stars in their eyes; those who have mountains and rivers in their hearts will not be limited by the beauty of mountains and rivers, so naturally they don't like mountains and rivers."
"Next year, I will be over fifty, but looking back, I still seem to have accomplished nothing!"
Lu Zheng whispered softly, "Your Majesty, don't belittle yourself, you have already done a great job!"
Liu Yan, with his hands behind his back, stood on the top of a low mountain
The son walked slowly around for a few times, shook his head, looked up to the sky and sighed, "The emperor has been carrying the banner for decades, destroying Cao Wei, devouring Sun Wu, pacifying the two Liao and Qingnan barbarians, and bringing peace to the world; my father, the emperor, has conquered the East for decades. I conquered the west, cut down the vassal kings, expanded the northern frontier, drove out the Aizhou, established the Western Region, and established the mighty Divine State. But I couldn't even pacify a small family, hey! When people compare themselves to each other, they are dead! Haha."
I have to say that Liu Yan's little temper is very similar to that of Liu Yi, who is three thousand miles away. No matter what happens, he always likes to be sentimental and moan for no reason until he can't help himself. Then the elders around him come forward to calm down his emotions. , continue to work and start a business.
This is called a fragile heart, a disease.
"If you don't follow the same rules to govern the country, you don't need to follow the ancient rules." Lu Zheng stroked the mahogany staff with both hands, and then bared his teeth, "The world is different, and the way to govern the country will be different. In today's world, people are determined, and it is safest to cut off the noble families with gentle measures. , is also the most conducive to stabilizing the country and hoarding national power. However, this method has been painful for Your Majesty. In recent years, it has been quite difficult for Your Majesty to step on the stilts. The humiliation endured by Your Majesty is also felt by the veteran ministers, and he accidentally injured sad."
Liu Yan lowered his head in thought, forced a smile on his face, and said, "Actually, as long as the people can live in peace, I really don't care what is written in the history books. However, I cannot have a happy battle with Fu Yi in this life, teacher, I I feel unwilling to do so!"
“One generation cannot do the same thing as two generations!”
Lu Zheng got some sand fruit from somewhere, wiped it clean with his sleeve, handed it to Liu Yan, and said with a smile, "You still have a son! If not, you still have a grandson! Haha! Back then, Emperor Wen and Jing
Doesn't the emperor want to show off with the Xiongnu? Don't you still have to wait until Emperor Wu? "
After saying that, Lu Zheng bared his teeth and said with a smile, "Besides, His Majesty is still in his prime, who says he can't hunt for Northern Xinjiang with Fu Yi?"
Liu Yan took the fruit and took a bite. His teeth were so sore that he grinned and said, "Teacher, what do you think of the character of this child Huai'er?"
The emperor's thoughts are the hardest to guess. Even Lu Zheng, who educated Liu Yan from childhood to adulthood, could not stop the roundworm in Liu Yan's belly.
Just now, Liu Yan's question was obviously asking Lu Zheng for his opinion on whether Liu Huai was qualified to be the general. Lu Zheng had to think twice before answering.
Old Lu Zheng pretended that the fruit was sour and grinned, but in fact he was thinking a lot. He waited for a while before saying, "The seedlings are beginning to grow, and the water in the field is clear. With time, it will become a fertile field."
Liu Yan threw the core away casually, picked up last year's withered grass, rubbed his hands, and said casually, "Teacher, even so, Huai'er, this child, has been unwilling to make progress all day long, is not careful about himself, and has no sense. If he doesn't do his job well and has a pure mind, how can he deserve the thousands of miles of territory of the Han Empire if he continues like this? How can you trust him so much?"
"What else?" Lu Zheng smiled honestly and said, "Your Majesty, you have never had such an idea before. Ever since you traveled east to Huaxing County and appointed a Pingtian Order of the Five Counties, and then from stationing troops in Lingyuan to establishing the Pingtian Army, There are some turmoils in His Majesty's heart! The old minister can guess how much His Majesty's thoughts are. However, Your Majesty must know that governing the world is not a child's play. You must exercise discretion and do not act childish! You know, only Only when the prince is honest can he control the world."
"The teacher is right!" Liu Yanji
Looking into the distance, he said meaningfully, "I heard that Lei Ruo'er, a great sage in the Qin Dynasty, deduced the general trend for Fu Yi and concluded that there was no hope of taking control of the Central Plains in this life. Fu Yi was unwilling to give in and asked him to calculate again, and the result was another. 'Later generations will send their love to the wolf who lives in Mount Xu'. Listen, what a terrible fable this is!"
Liu Yan sighed with emotion, "Teacher, Fu Yi has a son, Fu Wen, who is brave and resourceful. He dared to invade the Han territory for 700 miles, and escaped safely under the sacred formation of Pingrong Tingxue Platform. This son His abilities far surpass those of Huai'er. If I can't find a good person to guard the country in a hundred years, I won't worry!"
"Good trees are all watered. Didn't His Majesty also have the same virtue as the prince when he was a teenager?" Lu Zheng seemed to recall Liu Yan's funny look at a certain moment in his childhood and laughed loudly, "Sometimes, instead of cutting it down, Instead of replanting a crooked tree, it is better to prune it well and let it grow into a towering tree. This risk will be minimized, and after the crooked tree has gone through hardships and grown up, it will be more able to cope with wind and rain."
Lu Zheng got close to Liu Yan, and he patted his back. Liu Yan was stunned at first, and then warmed up.
